 Attention Durch die neue Sicherheitspolitik von Microsoft können Programme seit Windows Vista bei aktiver Benutzerkontensteuerung (UAC) Tasteneingaben nicht mehr global abfragen bzw. abfangen. Dies äußert sich darin, dass bei der Aktivierung der « Global »-Einstellung im Verwaltungsteil ein Fehler auftritt. Daher ist es in Vista und Windows 7 mit aktiver Benutzerkontensteuerung nicht möglich, DMXControl über die Tastaturkontrolle zu steuern, wenn gerade ein anderes Programm den Fokus besitzt.


Tip(s)

  Important hint Für DMXControl 2.11 und kleiner gilt:Damit diese Einstellungen auch umgesetzt werden, muss das Fenster « DMXIn-Fernsteuerung » geöffnet und dort die Checkbox « DMXIn-Fernstuerung aktiv » aktiviert sein. Ist für DMXControl 2.12 nicht mehr erforderlich.
